TO ALL WHO IT MAY GONCER-N:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS BOYLSToN,'of New York, in 'thc county ofNew York, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Childrens Carriages; and I do hereby declarelthat thefollowing is ay full, clear,v and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, rei'erencerbeing had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which-- Figure l represents asideelevation, partly in section, of my invention.

Figiire 2 is a plane or' top view, partly in section, of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to a new manner of-hanging the wheels on the front axles of that elassof childrens i .carriages which are -known nn'der the denomination of peramhulators, and consists in supporting thefront axle, and retaining the wheels on the said 4front axle, by means of brackets which are screwed firmly-to the ends o' the axle. y l A A, in the drawing, represents the front axle of a childrcns carriage. Onits ends are formed male screws, a a, as shown. y A

B B are the sills or'side-bars of the carriage-frame. v.

C C are brackets, with a. feniale thread, so that they can be screwed upon the respective ends of the axle.Y The brackets are provided with arms, b b, which form supports for the ends of the sills, and by means of screws, e c, or .their equivalents, the npts can be fastened to the sills. l

D D are the hubs of the wheels that are hung on the axle A, between the sills, said hubs turning loose( around the fixed. axle A. Each of these hubs is held between a ange, d, von the axleand a bracket, as-xis clearly shown in iig. 2, or is otherwise held between the sills.

The hubs or wheels are put onbefore the brackets 'are attached 'to the axle, and when the brackets are secured to the axle they are, or may be, fastened to the sills, and are then securely helden the axle,a n d cannot turn or become detached by the jarring motion of the vehicle. v v

I am aware of the patent granted. to Andrew Christian, April 24, 1866, but I claim nothing therein shown as my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-'.

The brackets C C, having extensions, b b, bolted to the ends oi" the sills B, and provided with an internal screw-thread, into which A'the ends of the front axle areV iirrnly screwed, as herein set forth for the purpose specified. l v

The above specification of' my invention signed by'me, this tenth day of April, 41868. I
